Here is a product that goes in the face of this internal debate in the design field over print versus web. Using an ingenious and fun idea designed by the London based design consultants BERG, The Little Printer combines mobile development, design, product design and interaction.

Besides it being cute it also the physical component for their BERG CLOUD, which connects mobile devices and smart products together.

Take a look here:

Connected to the Web, Little Printer has wide range of sources available to check on your behalf. We call them “publications”. Subscribe to your favourites and choose when you’d like them delivered. Right on time Little Printer gathers everything it needs to prepare a neat little personalised package, printed as soon as you press the button. You can get deliveries multiple times a day, but we find once or twice works best–like your very own morning or evening newspaper.

Little Printer holds a compact, inkless, thermal printer. Its zero-configuration wireless connection to the Web (via the Bridge unit, included) lets you place it wherever you have a power outlet. Little Printer is constructed in high-gloss injected moulded plastic and the brushed steel faceplate holds the paper, framing each delivery as it prints.

I thought I would use my first post to introduce one of my favorite discoveries from the world of Open Source software – ALCHEMY.

First off, what is Open Source? In a word, its free. That got your attention. However, it gets more complicated, using OpenSource software you enter into a conversation and community with other designers, artists, engineers, etc. You share, you debug, you are open about ideas and what you create. You can contribute.

Alchemy is an open drawing project aimed at exploring how we can sketch, draw, and create on computers in new ways. Alchemy isn’t software for creating finished artwork, but rather a sketching environment that focuses on the absolute initial stage of the creation process. Experimental in nature, Alchemy lets you brainstorm visually to explore an expanded range of ideas and possibilities in a serendipitous way.

I had this put on the computers in our labs and classrooms, so open it up and draw. When you are hitting a block this is a great place to go, draw and begin rapidly visualizing ideas. You can save all of your files and export them to all of your favorite proprietary software to build on, to animate with, to create further.

What is the best solution? Not the easy answer! Seek & Find is a way of working that is at once inquisitive and playful, disciplined and rigorous. Whether working in print, new media or the built environment, Kuhlmann Leavitt, Inc. asks how volume and scale, materials and objects, color, type, imagery and text can be used in an original and meaningful way to create experiences that inform and delight. Milton Glaser once said, “To design is to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master.” Read More

We all know what good design looks like (right?), but what is great design? It takes more than good looks to make a design effective, and AIGA will be awarding honors to design work that’s both aesthetically pleasing andeffective at solving the client’s challenges. Read More

Share your portfolio with experienced local professionals! The AIGA student portfolio review gives you a unique opportunity to receive critical feedback on the work that you do in preparation of the ‘real-world’ of design. Pre-registration is required as space is limited.

Selected Milestones

FREE ADMISSION

Sometimes viewed as a secondary art form to the films they promote,
movie ad campaigns play a large role in bringing audiences into the cinema
or influencing viewers for on-demand or movie rentals. Film posters and
promotional trailers have developed a distinct vernacular, carving their
own trajectory in design history.

Professors George Moore and Chris Reed have created a course that looks
at the advertising of movies—investigating trailers and posters through an
historical survey of film, advertising, and poster design. Join George and
Chris for a discussion of posters, trailers, and student-created work from
their course on the subject.
